What is the fastest route to travel to Cyprus?
Currently there are no direct flights to Northern Cyprus (Ercan is the main airport in Northern part of the island). Due to the rapid increase of the international number of flights, Ercan airport is on reconstruction at the moment, which will be re-opened earlier next year. Gecitkale is a back-up airport where all current flights to the island are made. All flights are through mainland Turkey. You do not have to leave the plane as a general rule and remain on board for 45 minutes in one of the airports in Turkey (Dalaman, Antalya, Izmir, etc). It takes 20minutes drive to get from Ercan to Nicosia (Lefkosa) the capital of Northern Cyprus, 30 minutes to Kyrenia (Girne). In the nearest future it will be direct flights from London, Manchester and Frankfurt.

Currently there are no direct non-stop flights to Northern Cyprus (Ercan is the main airport in the Northern part of the island). Due to a rapid increase in international flights, Ercan airport underwent major reconstruction. Gecitkale was the back-up airpot where all flights to North Cyprus were made. All flights are routed through mainland Turkey. You do not have to leave the plane as a general rule and will remain on board for 45 minutes at one of the airports in Turkey (Dalaman, Antalya, zmir, stanbul etc). It is a 20 minute drive from Ercan to Nicosia (Lefkoa) the capital of Northern Cyprus, 35 minutes to Kyrenia (Girme) and 40 minutes to Famagusta (Gazi Magusa). Hopefully, in the near future there will be direct flights from London, Manchester and Frankfurt.
